Tipton Herald 9th September 1916
A DUDLEY PORT SOLDIER KILLED.
To the ever increasing death toll of the war has to be added a Dudley Port soldier. Private William Amos joined the 3rd Worcesters a year last January, and when he had been at the front six months he was wounded. He was in hospital for some time, and on complete recovery he went back into the fighting line, and on the 24th August he was killed in action. He had only returned to the front some seven weeks when he fell. Information received by his wife shows that the death was instantaneous. Before joining the colours, Private Amos - who was a native of Tipton - was employed at Messrs Holcrofts' works at Tividale. He leaves a widow and two children, for whom much sympathy is felt.
